Maldives Travel Agent Expert

The Maldives is an island nation made up of more than 1,200 individual islands in the Indian Ocean. Many of these islands are barely above sea level, making them among the most vulnerable to climate change and rising sea levels.  Over time, many Maldivians have  moved to nearby cities like the capital of Male to find work. Therefore, much of the country remains deserted and secluded. If you’re seeking peace and quiet, this is the place to go. The people are friendly, the beaches are gorgeous and it’s remote enough that you won’t see another tourist for miles around. As a Maldives travel agent specialist, I can promise you an idyllic island escape - one you won’t soon forget.  Plus, only a small number of travelers visit this entracing country every year. If you’re thinking about adding it to your bucket list soon, do so now when you can make the perfect getaway. Indeed, the Maldives is home to some of the most beautiful islands in the world. Its sparkling blue waters, white sandy beaches, lush green landscapes, and lagoons have also made it a honeymooners’ paradise.  Check out the amazing marine life The Maldives is home to a wide variety of aquatic life. Whether you are snorkeling or diving, you will spot some exotic marine creatures. You can find turtles, stingrays, various types of fish and even whales in the waters surrounding the islands.  If you are lucky, you might even get to see dolphins frolicking in the blue waters. There are also many coral reefs in the Maldives. You can visit the Mohamed Thuru Reef and Coral Park to see the underwater world. Some resorts also have their own private reefs where you can snorkel and scuba dive. Swim in crystal clear water The marine life is not the only thing that makes the water in the Maldives beautiful. The water here is also crystal clear. Instead of rivers and lakes, the islands in this country get their water supply from the rainwater and underground springs. Therefore, you can easily see its colorful fish without having to use snorkeling or scuba diving gear. What is exciting about Maldives is its plans to build Maldives Floating City to fight the rising sea levels. The city will be established in a lagoon, close to the capital of Male. Because the city will float on the water, it will accommodate the rises in sea levels because of climate change. It will be the first floating city in the world. View a glorious sunset Another thing that makes the Maldives a perfect tourist destination is the glorious sunset that you can watch every day. While a sunset can be beautiful almost anywhere in the world, a Maldives sunset  is worth traveling thousands of miles to see.  Breathe the fresh air and get your exercise The Maldives is an island country. Explore the islands on foot, swim in the waters, or rent a bike from your resort. You can also go for a walk or a jog on the beach.  Visit the island atolls Maldives is home to several atolls. Atolls are coral reef ring-shaped isles that surround a lagoon. Atolls are great places to visit to see the natural marine life and beach. For example, the Male Atoll is a diver’s paradise as well as a picturesque beach. The Kaafu Atoll has both charm and new-age ambience. Considered the heart and soul of Maldives, the atoll is home to spice markets and sites,such as the National Art Gallery. Visit the Ari Atoll and you’ll have the pleasure of meeting a variety of wildlife, including colorful fish, turtles, and sharks, including spectacular flora. In this atoll, the main isle, Rashdoo, features a beautiful Buddhist town. The atoll is also well-known for its mosque, the masterpiece architecture called Sultan-Al-Haj. UNESCO considers the Ass Atoll a World Biosphere Reserve. It has picture postcard views and its amazing Hanifaru Huraa is a lovely bay that is home to plankton. You’ll also see manta rays and sharks in the waters surrounding the atoll. If you like to snorkel, plan on the activity here. It’s a very engaging experience. When can we begin planning your trip to the Maldives? I can advise you on the best places to go and visit.

Excellent Customer Service
Stoddard is a wonderful travel agent who provides outstanding customer service!

I initially contacted Stoddard via email. He reached out to me that very same day via phone and email. I spoke with him at length that afternoon and explained that we want to go on a 10-12 day trip to Switzerland. Before I went to bed that evening, he sent over a full itinerary which included flights, hotels, some meals, and recommendations for how to spend our time. All of this came in under our budget. Everything that Stoddard picked was fabulous, but since we had some extra money we added an extra night and made one or two upgrades. Stoddard was patient, friendly, and responsive throughout all of our interactions, and he always gave his honest opinion when we asked him for his input. It's evident that he knows Switzerland very well!! Our trip is now officially booked and we could not be more excited!

I highly recommend using Stoddard to plan your next vacation. He will not disappoint!!

Honeymoon to Thailand
First time getting away in many years, newlyweds on our post-honeymoon vacation somewhere we knew nothing about, and Stoddard immediately got a great trip together, along with all the experience he had living there a few years. Never used an agent before, not to mention a specialist like Stoddard. Talked me through the options, send example, settled on a 14 day trip, and it was awesome... Thanks Stoddard !

Trip of a lifetime!
Stoddard was a fantastic representative that provided us with a once in a life time trip that we will remember for the rest of our lives. His attention to detail and communication were impeccable, and he did everything he could to ensure we had the most amazing experience ever. I can't recommend his services enough and I refer him to friends and family all of the time. I know they share my feelings as well, based on their experiences working with Stoddard. I can't recommend him enough.
